Aims
This module aims to provide a conceptual and practical knowledge base that develops and extends your understanding of clinical movement analysis. The students will learn how to interpret gait analysis results in a clinical context through exposure to the current literature, specialised methods, and clinical case studies. They will also be exposed to the latest research developments and applications in clinical rehabilitation.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Analyse and integrate the advanced concepts related to the theory and practice of clinical movement analysis
2.
Produce and be able to interpret the results of a gait analysis report
3.
Critically appraise the current literature in the methodological and applied aspects of clinical movement analysis
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The module content includes: Introduction to clinical movement analysis Problem based learning - advanced use of gait analysis software Theory of normal gait Physical examination The role of gait analysis in cerebral palsy. Site visit to Alder Hey Hospital’s Gait Laboratory. Abnormal gait
Presentations by academic staff and invited speakers about the latest developments in clinical movement analysis applications and research (e.g. movement re-training with real-time feedback and the effects of visual influences on gait)

Module Overview:
A highlight of the module is to observe a gait reporting sessions at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
The acquired skills include the methodological aspects, comprehension of the latest research advances as well as the role of gait analysis in clinical decision-making. We share the latest developments in clinical movement analysis with a focus on the latest research and how new applications emerge in clinical practice.
We will cover basic concepts in the beginning and then progress towards a higher level of complexity. Your existing knowledge of measurement techniques and data reduction techniques will be refreshed first. This knowledge will be applied in the understanding of normal gait. You will then be exposed to the interpretation of genuine biomechanical data gathered while testing individuals with a variety of movement problems. One of the most challenging parts will be an engagement in the process of clinical decision-making informed by biomechanical results. Finally, you will broaden your horizon inspired by the latest applied research presented by academic staff and invited specialists.

Additional Information:
This module provides an opportunity to focus onto the clinical use of gait analysis. Aspects of the advanced methodology and the clinical decision-making process will be visited. Our world-class Biomechanics laboratories house cutting edge equipment waiting for you to use them. Optoelectronic cameras enable 3D movement capture, force and pressure platforms give information about global and local loads, virtual reality (CAREN system and M-Gait instrumented treadmill) provides interaction in real time. See our Biomechanics section on the RISES website for staff research which feeds into your studies. A long track record of academic staff in clinical movement analysis, accredited by the Clinical Movement Analysis Society, ensures that students gain insight into both the theoretical and practical aspects of important applications of biomechanics. The existing links and ongoing collaboration with the North West Movement Analysis Centre at Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust provide access to clinical case presentations and invited speakers.
